Not entirely correct. Toe comes into play when you're braking in heavy braking zones at the end of the straights, and if you have more than your share of toe-in the front outside edge will wear very fast.

The wear pattern on the tire indicates either a lack of camber or too much toe-in up front. If you have 2.5º of camber up front, then that leaves toe as the other suspect. However, you mentioned near ZERO toe, that would mean that you SHOULD get some toe-out rather than toe-in as you brake.

Do you daily on these tires, and if you do, how many miles? The fact that there seems to be a smooth band on top of the typical track tire wear near the outside shoulder suggest that the majority of the outside shoulder wear may have come from street use, which is also accelerated with toe-in up front.
